    Hooke's law states that the stretching force (F) of a spring is directly proportional to the extension (x) of the spring. A graph of F vs x shows a straight line through the origin, indicating the spring obeys Hooke's law. The slope of the line gives the force per unit extension (k). Beyond an extension of 50 mm, the spring would no longer follow a straight line relationship as it reaches its limit of proportionality. A spring with a smaller k value would have a less steep line on the graph that is linear up to 80 mm of extension.

    (ii) Calculate k, the force per unit extension of the spring.

    (iii) The limit of proportionality of the spring is reached at an extension of 50 mm.

    Continue the graph in Fig. 1.1 to suggest how the spring behaves when the
    stretching force is increased to values above 125 . [1]

    (i ) Another spring has a smaller value of k. This spring obeys Hooke’s law for
    extensions up to 80 mm.

    On the grid of Fig. 1.1, draw a possible line of the variation of F with x for this
    spring. [1]
